Fr. szAw, NJ. T., January 27.-Advices
received from reliable sources in Northern
Montana, near the boundary line, and from
various points in Canadian Territory, not
ably Maple Creek and all through that
section, say that this seasons storms in
the Northwest have exceeded anything in
the history Of that country. Snow lies from
fifteen 70 twenty inches deep. 1t is crusted
in some localities to the depth OF several
inches, making it impossible for cattle to
get at the grass. Unless strong Chinook
winds make their appearance very soon,
the outlook is, to say the least, gloomy.
Stockmen have good cause to look blue.
The crusted snow is sufficiently hard to
bear the Weight OF an animal. There are
some places whore the snow has been blown
away and cattle can get at the grass.

been forestalled by Rt. Hon. Henry Chaplin,

lifted the hat, examined it critically, read
Chapiu's card for a full minute, then smiled
and took back seat. It is snotorious that
a feud exists between Lord Randolph and
Chaplin. The spsesh from tho throne excited
little interest. The weather was damp and
foggy.
